Quote from ‘Letters to Lady Welby’

Term: 
Immediate Object
Quote: 

I am now prepared to give my division of signs, as soon as I have pointed out that a sign has two objects, its object as it is represented and its object in itself.
[—]
In respect to its immediate object a sign may either be a sign of a quality, of an existent, or of a law.
